I was going to bring this up with my guild, but they'd jack all my grinding spots on the serv or my methods, this way we could just share amongsts ourselves...bwahahaha...

So what do you guys do for monies? Here are some opportunities I've seen:

Herbing: People are lazy and don't want to herb themselves even though they need pots for the raids. By having a flying mount (epic would be optimal), riding crop and some free time, you can cash in on this fat cow that the PvE biased BC has generated. Specifically on my serv Netherbloom was at over 30g a stack zoh my gawd! Guess what I'll be doing this weekend?

Alchemy: Specced correctly you can get more out of herbs and get extra pots. Mellee are a dime a dozen but casters always love (and will pay for) the things that can keep their pew pew up. I'd suggest going for Elixir of Mage Blood > Super Mana Pots > Healing Power > Shadow Power. Alternately, having a primal might, trading it straight up for mats, transmuting it later, while being xmute spec might land you a good chunk of change every once in a while.

Rep Rewards: Sunfury Signet & Mark of Sargeras are always in demand and being a grindinator works to your advantage. On my serv Marks of S go for about a 1g a pop and I know that several spots up at blades edge and SMV do give you quite a result for your efforts.

Disenchanter: Got your enchanting up? Can't get the enchants that are in demand or everyone else is whoring themselves out, effectively taking you out of the market? Disenchant! Grind, disenchant then sell reagents. Greater Planars go for about 5g a pop on Boulderfist, and Arane Dust is 2g per. Easy money if you horde up your BoE's and quest rewards that you've marginalized for a while. You can even disenchant for a tip... now how easy is that? Just make sure you don't mix up your reagents that you had previously with what they should get back

Primal War: Primals are now needed even for enchants not to mention the huge amounts that it takes to craft items. Averaging for around 20g a primal, there is a big market for these and you might play an unusual angle. Most times people already have motes lying around from random grinding/questing so you may want to cater to those types of players, the ones that don't need to buy a complete primal. If you have 10 motes you might want to put up auctions as follows: 1x[ 3xMote ] 2x[ 2xMote ] and 3x[ 1xMote ]. If you want to go for singule motes all the way, you may want to just do a slight increase of the Primal/10 price.

Netherweave: Everyone needs it, PvE, PvP, via Bandages, Tailoring, erm... well that's just it but boy does it sell!

Consortium: You may not be proud enough to admit it but some of you have consortium rep, but you may be pleased to know that you get a goodie bag of gems once a month. It's true! http://www.thottbot.com/?s=Membership+Benefits the more rep you have the better the gems.

Always keep in mind, it's rude to undercut a guildie or a friend, so play nice and happy hunting!

Just some thoughts.

Mining is where it's at. Besides selling plain ore and bars, you can also sell felsteel and hardened adamantite. It's easy to turn a quick profit.

Jewelcrafting is also a great money maker. Besides just buying uncut gems and reselling them cut, you can buy ore for prospecting with a fairly decent chance at getting good gems as well.

However I've just skilled a miner up and reckon I'll probably make quite a bit if I get down to farming ores to prospect, as that'll be a much better source of gems than having to buy them!

This has turned me off to jewelcrafting.

I totally forgot about stealthers... Stealthers can go in and jack some locked chests in instances and reset it like 5 times an hour. You can probably find some videos on Youtube if you're interested to only see how it's done.

I woudn't condone it, it might be considered an exploit or unfair advantage by WoW and it's GM's and might get you in trouble.

I doubt it's an exploit, assume you use all the in-game mechanics and aren't dropping trough floors or something.

It's a bit better since I got a miner but yeah, not massive profit. Probably depends how you play it though; I'm a bit of a completist and bought every recipe... if you only buy a small number which are likely to sell well and concentrate on using prospecting, it probably makes more.

As for other moneymakers; I use very few of them, as I always end up just farming stuff I need for myself and being too bored of farming to want to farm anything for money after wards. My best way of making cash is combining it with something else; if I'm farming rep then sell the drops I get etc.

Oh and disenchanting... if you want easy money buy cheap 51-60 Azeroth greens, DE them and sell the results. Massive profits on a good day, although it can vary a lot. Illusion dust and greater eternal essences are needed for anyone skilling up enchanting, plus of course a lot of twink enchants, and a few others that have no outland equivalent, so there's still a fair amount of demand for them, while a heck of a lot less supply. On my server illusion dust sells at about 2g each (2g/stack) and greater eternal essence ranges from 9g-14g, usually somewhere around 11g. Easy money when you can still buy greens for about 2g each.

Just buy gold off one of the advertisers on here.....lol.....j/k

Maybe you haven't noticed, but you should be seeing much less RMT advertising around here. There's still some here and there as I have existing obligations, but overall the amount of RMT ads here has been substantially cut back.

I troll forums... not much ads but has it been more of a personal funding or some rich big wigs helping deferr costs?

We appreciate everything you do Rollz <3

Just scaling back as much as I can. I would like to go RMT free and am pushing towards that end.
